Pay attention
To what you see
You see a people
Being murdered
You see a land
Being blotted
You see a dream
Being slaughtered
You see this
And you believe
In your presidents
And your chancellors
And your prime ministers
That all will be taken care of
That all is in the best of hands
But no my friends
All will be forgotten
The wounded
The maimed
The killed
They will all be forgotten
Replaced by news
Of other similar injustices
That will be well taken care of
By our democracies
By our charities
By our enlightened civilization
Yes
It will be taken care of
By the ones who really rule
The dark lords
Of capital
And hidden organization
What you see is the world
A perpetual scream of the weak
A perpetual genocide by the strong
Keep your eyes open
You might just be next
